New Havaianas Trail Sandals

June 7th, 2008 by Jordan

Havaianas Trail Sandal

Not my favorite Havaianas sandal, but not bad, I see the application, but the heel hook in the back just looks a bit off to me. A warning tho if you are on a slow connection, as their website takes f..o..r..e..v..e..r to load. Also, if you’re interested, I just learned today that Havaianas Austrailia call them “thongs.”

Bernos.org Africa Tees

May 19th, 2008 by Jordan

I was lucky I stumbled across Bernos.org. They have some suuuuuuper sweet t-shirts. Great designs, however a few are sold out. The artists, obviously inspired via Africa, tag their designs “uniquely Ethiopian.” Where else can you get that?! All this about Africa, and luckily they are located in LA. Where they print their shirts on American Apparel. In case you were wondering what I like best, the $19.99 price tag on the d’afrique shirt. Overall just great travel tees.

Patagonia Artist’s Tees

May 14th, 2008 by Jordan

patagonia artist tee

Practically every page you visit on Patagonia’s website has some mention about giving back or environmentalism. Which is why I can justify spending $29 on one of their sweet Travel Tees. Check out their Artist’s T-Shirts and I would guess they will have something you like there. Patagonia started as an alpine company making tools for outdoors enthusiasts. Now they have a pretty big catalog for apparel as well.

Jytte Travel Beanies

May 12th, 2008 by Jordan

jytte travel beanies

Jytte is the proud producer of some of the most unique and well-designed beanies you can find online. They have light-weight and mid-weight beanies depending on how warm you want to be. But why I really like this company is explained on their “About” page. If you will be travelling somewhere cold soon, pick one up. I’m wondering if all my readers even call a stocking hat a “beanie?” I’ve heard them called Tuk’s, Tabogins, and skull-caps. Anyways….Jytte is prounounced You-Tay if you were wondering.

Icebreaker Travel Wear

Okay all you rich kids out there. This post is for you…because these shirts are n-i-c-e. A little too nice for my budget. Anyone who wants to see state of the art high end travel wear and travel apparel, check out icebreaker. They sell men and women’s travel apparel, have lite wear and ultralite wear…which looks to me like a base layer from Mountain Hardwear or North face. They’ve also got some cool graphic tech tees that are only $69.99, and by only I mean “ridiculously priced at.”

Let’s Go Travel Tee

March 13th, 2008 by Jordan

hostel travel teeI’m pretty picky when it comes to travel tees, but this one from Let’s Go definitely makes the cut. You can purchase it online at The Harvard Shop for $19.95. Don’t ask me why it’s at The Harvard Shop and not on the Let’s Go site. Harvard must have a pretty good relationship with Let’s Go, because a friend of mine who attended Harvard use to work for Let’s Go, in fact she designed some of the icons used in the book.

We finally designed a shirt! This 100% cotton tee was inspired by the Dancing Building located in Prague. The shirt will shrink slightly and amazingly gets softer the more you wash it. Ships USPS within 24 hours. And best of all…FREE SHIPPING! If only human travel were so cheap. You can purchase by going to our online store.

Omnipeace Africa Tees

October 4th, 2007 by Jordan

omnipeace teeBesides having one of the greatest logos for peace organizations, OmniPeace makes some great T-Shirts to end poverty and raise awareness in violent Sub-Saharan Africa. The company donates half the proceeds from a $25-$30 shirt to the non profit Millenium Promise. You’ve probably seen these shirts on the t.v. lately, as hollywood stars are draping themselves in these. I won’t question their motives in this one case.

Hubwear Travel Tees

September 8th, 2007 by Jordan

Another tee shirt company! Hubwear Travel Tees are fairly simple, yet make a big splash to those who hang around airports as many readers do. The tees are just the three letter symbol for the airport. You get to choose between 24 airports, mostly in the US, to print on a shirt for $25. If your airport isn’t on list they will print it for $35.
